Dillion uses Dutch's rescue team to kill all of the military leaders and people in a base who would have gone on to lead a major invasion in the coming days. He does this because he knows that it's extremely difficult terrain and the base is well guarded, and Dutch's team has the highest chance of success, given Dillion's available personnel and resources. Dutch and his team feel betrayed because they are exclusively a rescue squad, and don't do assassination types of jobs. One could argue that if Dillion had waited, he could have let the invasion happen, then use Dutch's team. However, the team would likely not have been able to rescue everyone, given that the invasion that was about to happen was probably going to be large scale. Dutch's team is small and specializes in individuals and small groups. So by using Dutch's team to perform the assassination by lying to him about the nature of the mission, they saved way more lives that otherwise would have been possible if they just let the invasion happen. Or, one could argue that lying to a rescue squad is bad use of personnel. Dillion should have chosen the best assassination team available to him. Additionally, you never know if everyone you want to hit is going to be at the site when you arrive, or if they're going to be there at all. There can be all kinds of unforeseen elements (such as the predator)... this is the 80's, so drone / high tech / satellite video is not available. The best thing available are spies, and spies can be wrong. Your thoughts?

also OP, if Dillon did not lie to Dutch there would be no storyline for the classic 1987 movie, "Predator," therefore Dillon was right to lie to Dutch

Apparently Sonny Landham (Billy) was a legit maniac who had a bodyguard hired by the studio to keep him from getting into fights every day.

It was a rescue mission? Who was the rescue target? It has been a long time since I have seen that movie

After Jesse Ventura gets killed, every single member of the team just indiscriminately opens fire into the jungle for what seems like 4 or 5 minutes non-stop. Exactly how much ammo were they carrying?!
